The perfect post-holiday trip
Camp Press South '18 will be along the beautiful San Marcos River this year. We'll start off from quirky ol' Austin, TX in the morning, and by mid-morning be lounging, playing cards, boating, hiking, decompressing from the busy holiday season. It's a needed respite to help start the year off right, and we'll enjoy the luxury of our very own geeky group camp site.
Relax and unwind
Go on an afternoon hike, play some outdoor games, take an afternoon nap, take a canoe out, go on a scavenger hunt, or sit around the campfire with other campers… minimal schedules, lots of fun, incredible memories. Think a cross between summer camp and Burning Man… in Texas.
